Tre Wisner take

[hookemrj13]

Tre Wisner was fine and is fine. 

I feel his demise at Texas was the lack of a 2nd RB that was also a threat.

He was not a "problem" when Blue was part of the duo.

All of Sark's RB's at Texas have had a duo system, and I feel Wisner was a victim of missing that last year...along with the OL trouble...along with some playcalling. 

I like the 2 RB's we got (esp Smothers imo) but feel like Wisner could have had a impact as well. 

Was the NIL asking price that far off?

Pretty sure he left cause the NiL package wasn’t what he wanted or we wouldn’t raise to what he was asking. 
 

I liked his production out of the backfield and thought he would have been good in rotation with whoever we brought in but I think he was asking for RB1 money that we didn’t want to commit to. 
 

there could be more but I didn’t listen to the noise or haters saying he could leave but I wish him well and hope he does well at FSU and makes it to the league to make himself some money.

He took bad advice from whoever his agent/ advising him. He really deserved to finish his career as a horn but i also understand he wasn't worth the asking price either if you believed we could upgrade

I believe he agreed to the deal Texas offered then came back and asked for more

That's incorrect.

They never agreed to numbers.

His agency started well above where Texas was.

There ya have it. Thanks Bobby. 
 

I thought I remembered it being something like that but wasn’t sure. 
 

heck of a kid and always represented us well. Sad he didn’t end his career as a Longhorn but that’s the NIL driven game now a days for some.

Tre Wisner is a good player. Hard nosed, tough as nails, reliable and dependable.

Tre, however, is not a breakaway runner even though he's somewhat slight of build.

Initially, Texas wanted to keep Tre and only take one RB from the portal. But Tre's agency asked for significantly more than what Texas perceived as market value.

So the two did not agree to terms, he entered the portal, and then Texas started looking for two RBs in the portal. They identified Raleek Brown quickly and then circled back on Hollywood Smothers who had committed to Alabama from North Carolina State.

Long story short, there's no disparagement of Tre Wisner around here. Is he perfect? No. But he was a damn good Longhorn when Texas needed him the most. He will be missed, even if his replacements may actually be better.

I feel we all can agree he isnt in the Livingstone category haha. 

Thanks Bobby!

Pretty bold to have an injury plagued season and have the nerve to ask for more money
